Dpckctcd for hearing in couoty |
court yesterday were William Le
roy Cromer and Charles F. Schro
der, both of Cherry Point, who |
were involved in weekend auto ac
cidents.
Cromer was charged with driv
ing drunk and driving on the |
wrong side of the road and Schra
der with driving without a license. I
Both accidents were investigated!
by Patrolman W. J. Smith Jr.
Arm Hurt
Cromer suffered an injury of the |
left arm and was taken to the dis
pensary at Cherry Point by mili
tary police. He was driver of a
1950 Dodge which collided with a
1956 Oldsmobile convertible at
11:05 p.m Friday three miles west
of Newport on Highway 70.
Driving the Oldsmobile was Da
vid C. Wagner. Cherry Point. The |
Dodge was demolished and the
Olds had $400 damage.
Acoording to the patrolman, the
Dodge was headed toward Cherry
Point, ran over to the left side of J
the road and hit the convertible
which was traveling east.
Knee Bruised
Miss Doris Gray. 828 Clark Ave..
New Bern, suffered a bruised knee
at 2:30 Sunday afternoon when the
1953 Chevrolet in which she was
riding ran into a ditch on High
way 70 three and a half miles west
of Morehead City.
Driving the car was Schrader. I
He was headed east. According to |
Patrolman Smith, the hood of the
car came unlatched, preventing
the driver from seeing where he
was going. The car went into a
ditch at the side of the road. Dam
age to the car was estimated at |
$150.

ferry. This free ferry service was j
inaugurated Aug. 18. Everyone was
skeptical about its success, just as
thousands are about a Cedar Is
land-Ocracoke ferry. The first
eight days of operation showed
this: the ferry carried 522 cars
with 2,020 passengers!
Yes, Over 2,000 people in eight I
days took this ferry to a dead-end |
at Ocracoke.
Why can't we make it possible
for these 2,000 and millions more
to drive right on down the entire
coast of North Carolina?
This, you remember, was to be
the first step in the construction
of an All-Seahsore highway. It has
taken since 1952 to make even this
dream come true. If the people
on the coast really want more traf
fic, want more business and want
to progress and prosper, NOW is
the tim<^ to get busy. It is the time
to fight for better transportation
and to back the efforts which our
governor is making to save our
priceless outer banks from com
plete destruction.
Through the perseverance of Gov
ernor Hodges and Colonel Brown,
the Beach Erosion Board of the
U. S. Corps of Engineers has be
come interested in our gigantic
problem and has appropriated
around $15,000 of its funds to make
a survey which will determine the
best manner in which to proceed
with rehabilitation and reconstruc
tion
This trip to Portsmouth and
Ocracoke was just an exploratory
stage to aid in the development of
a practical run-range plan for sav
ing and rebuilding Carteret Coun
ty's 84 miles of fabulous and price
less ocean barrier, your outer
backs.

Mosquitoes
(Continued from rage 1)
sucked all the blood out of them -
the only place where the air was
clear on the Atlantic ball diamond
last Sunday was where the ball
opened a path through the swarms
of mosquitoes ? and cows were so
covered with mosquitoes you
couldn't tell what color they were.
Two Foggers Down Fast
Now there are two mosquito
spraying machines working down
east. The regular machine plus the
Beaufort town machine which has
been rented by the county.
Mr. Fulford expressed his appre
ciation to Mayor Clifford Lewis
and Dan Walker for arranging for
use of the machine down east dur
ing the day time. At night it makes
its regular fogging runs in Beau
fort.
Mr. Walker said, however, that
Beaufort is no longer spraying on
the outskirts of town because "we
simply can't afford it." The ma
chine works in town from 5 to 10
pin.
Through the courtesy of Street
Commissioner Gibbie Sanderson
and Street Superintendent J. V.
Waters, Morehead City, the More
head City machine has been rent
ed by the county for daytime use
west of Morehead until the burned -
up outfit can be replaced.
"There are a thousand mosqui
toes down east to every one in the
western part of the county," JVIr.
Fulford explained.
A new truck is on order and it
will be delivered as soon as new
fogging equipment arrives. Mr.
Fulford said it is hoped that the
insurance on the bumed-up truck
will pay for the new equipment.
The swarms of mosquitoes prob
ably couldn't have come at a worse
time. Many persons who had gone
down east to inns and motels for
the holiday weekend checked out
in less than 24 hours. People over
on the banks were "eat up".
Individual homeowners are ask
ed to do all they can to check the
mosquitoes, such as spreading oil
in drainage ditches and getting rid
of water standing outdoors in old
buckets, barrels or kettles.
To Sponsor Dance
The Beaufort Jaycees are plan
ning a back to school dance for
next week. Proceeds of the event
will be used to help pay for the
football team's insurance. Final
plans for the dance have not been
made.
Annie Gardner, teacher, (Mrs. W.
E. Swann).
Members of the first graduating
class were Annie Morton, Lessie
Arrington, Gladys Chadwick and
Sally Duncan. Although public
school started in 1910, Miss Morton
said that it took a year to figure
out who was in what class and
what credits had to be accumu
lated for those who wanted to go
on to college.
At that time, there was no school
building and the pupils were scat
tered in three different buildings.
In the picture above, taken in
front of the courthouse, the win
dow at the right was the window
in the register of deeds office.
In the story in Tuesday's paper
the third courthouse, known as the
Colonial Courthouse is said to have
stood on the "southeast" corner of
I the courthouse square. It should
i have read "southwest", in the
I midst of many of the live oakl
' trees standing today. |
